The 2013 Denver Music Summit took place this past weekend at two downtown Denver venues.

The 2013 Denver Music Summit took place this past weekend, and OpenAir was thrilled to be there.

Shearwater's latest for Sub Pop consists of tributes to acts with whom Shearwater has toured: nine different artists, one cover version from each artist’s catalog, along with one original song.

Armed with one Guild acoustic guitar and three drinks, Destroyer (a.k.a. Dan Bejar) took the stage for a solo run through the abundant wealth of his back catalogue.

Corsicana Lemonade, White Denim’s sixth album, finds the band polishing their sound with the help of Jeff Tweedy’s production. The result is the sleekest and most immediate record the group has made to date.

We’re only a few days away from Denver Music Summit (Nov 22-24)! The three-day event features live performances from Josiah Johnson (The Head & the Heart), Gregory Alan Isakov, Eric Johnson (Fruit Bats), PHOX, Ark Life, and many more. Plus, OpenAir will be on the scene all weekend hosting the performances!

This weekend (Nov. 15-17), the Hi-Dive, one of Denver’s most vital live music venues, will host its “One and Ten Year Anniversary”. We spoke with owner Matty Clark about the history of the venue and some of his all-time favorite Hi-Dive moments.

The Colorado Music Hall of Fame, which celebrates and honors the very best fixtures of Colorado’s musical history, will welcome four new members to its hallowed exhibit on Friday, November 8. The inductees are Judy Collins, Bob Lind, the Serendipity Singers, and Chris Daniels.

The latest OpenAir Download of the Week comes from the 10th anniversary reissue of the late Jason Molina and his band Songs: Ohia.  On November 12, Secretly Canadian will reissue the critically accliamed 2003 album Magnolia Electric Company, and we have the song Farewell Transmission as a free download just for you.

The 36th Starz Denver Film Festival, Denver's largest celebration of cinema all year, is going on from now until November 17. This year’s theme is Paint the Town Red. Throughout the coming days of the festival, the Denver Film Society is hosting over 200 films from around the globe: everything from documentaries, shorts, indie flicks, foreign films, and even music videos.

Friday night brought Isakov and his four-piece backing band to Boettcher Concert Hall for a performance with the Colorado Symphony, the latest entry in the Symphony’s successful collaborative series with rock and folk musicians.

Stay tuned to OpenAir, new music from Colorado Public Radio, to hear the latest from Seattle rockers La Luz, experimental producer Son Lux, and Malaysian pop artist Yuna.

Four albums in, the members of Arcade Fire have found themselves in a position reserved only for the vastly marketable, intriguingly mysterious, and conspicuously controversial of the music industry in that we cannot help but watch their every move.

To look back on our two years on the air, we’ve collected this list of the Top 134 (get it?) OpenAir Albums.

In a word, Valerie June’s voice permeates. It’s quite a task to divert your attention to anything else when it invades and envelops your eardrums. On this latest album, she remains utterly compelling while trying her hand, or rather voice, at country, folk, blues, and rock.

By now, anyone who attended the Lumineers’ Sunday night show at Red Rocks can surmise the reason behind this rehearsal: the Colorado Symphony joined the commercially and critically successful Denver-based quintet for the second of their sold-out homecoming shows.
